Being that it is the beginning of a new year, you have probably set out to accomplish some big, important goals this year. Most people look to kick bad habits, get in shape, make more money, read the Bible, get out of debt, spend more time with family, and so on and so on. But, for the most part, by early March, most of those goals and dreams are a distant memory. People have fallen off the bandwagon, forgotten about the goal altogether, or simply became overwhelmed by the sh

One of the goals to have in life is the power of positive thinking. My sister got me a book called “The Secret” for Christmas 2010. It is based on the law of attraction and explains that the more we tell ourselves that we are successful, the more we'll behave as if we are. We will start to carry ourselves like successful people do, we'll dress like they do, we'll talk like they do and we'll start hanging out where they do. Opportunities will start coming our way.

“If you want it seriously enough, you’ll soon find a way to get it”. A common saying that is easy to understand but how easy is it to actually do what it says? One of the problems young parents face is that of helping their young kids achieve well in school. Many parents are aware that their children would need a little extra help but some of these parents are either not educated enough themselves, are too busy, or have not got the resources to give their children that extra push. Giving your children the extra push doesn’t have to cost a bomb. You can start by doing the following:

Are you struggling with your money goals and your finance goals? I think a lot of people are these days, especially with the current economic climate right? Why do we all struggle with these goals to achieve in life? Why do we grapple with issues around accomplishing a goal in terms of our finances? In my experience, this is all deep in our subconscious and goes back to our childhood and throughout our teen and adult life.

One of the best goal setting examples I have been given in my seminar experiences is to do the hard jobs first because the easy jobs will take care of themselves. This sounds so simple right? Sometimes what’s easy to do is easy not to do.r

How important is perseverance in achieving your goals? Many success gurus tell us constantly that to achieve your goals, you have to keep on going, have faith in yourself, and never give up. To keep persevering to achieve your goal does not mean that you forge blindly ahead, regardless of the consequences. To achieve your goal does not mean you refuse to listen to those around you. This is one mistake that many people make in trying to achieve their goals. They believe they m

People often look at challenging times as obstacles in their path to accomplishing goals. I have found that difficult situations can actually be the catalyst for much greater things, if you let them. I wrote my first book, "Think GREAT: 5 Steps to a Greater Life" to tell the story of my wife’s battle with cancer and our desire to stay on track to accomplishing our goals. That was over ten years ago.

The 3rd Step to Accomplishing Your Goals GOALS - REASONS - EXPECTATIONS - ACTIONS - TRACKING We all have basic expectations in our lives, such as showing up on time for work, dropping the kids off at school, and paying bills. Setting high expectations for yourself acknowledges that your goals are important to you and that you believe in yourself. These expectations will apply the right “productive” pressure to your efforts. Everyday people are ready jump up and grab a hold of their goals. When you set high expectations, it’s like jumping on a trampoline.

Depression is a serious medical condition that can impact anybody. There is no race, ethnicity, age group, or gender that is immune to depression. Although, there is evidence that there is higher rates of depression among certain groups. However, many experts believe that at least some of these differences are the result of certain demographic groups choosing not to seek treatment for this medical condition. In fact, various societal groups deal with depression in different ways.

Manifesting Your Desires Is everyone in the world living the life that they want, the life that they dream of? The answer to that is no. We can look around and see that not everyone is happy with their life and circumstances. We can talk to our friends about hopes and dreams and what type of life we desire, but what are you doing to have that life? Do you know anyone that has their dream life? The answer is yes to that question, have you talked to them about how they got, or

FRIENDSHIP Letter from a friendr I just had to write to tell you how much I love you and care for you. Yesterday I saw you walking and laughing with your friends. I hoped that soon you’d want Me to walk along with you, too. So I painted you a sunset to close your day and whispered a cool breeze to refresh you. Irnwaited—you never called—I just kept on loving you. As I watched you fall asleep last night, I wanted so much to touch you. Irnspilled moonlight onto your face—trickling down your cheeks as so many tears have. You didn’t think of me; I wanted so much to comfort you.r

In the everlasting journey called life, human beings are almost amusing in a strange kind of way. Most people think and believe that they have to “live up” to another family member, relative, or screen idol. Some even have become envious or jealous of popular celebrities and want or even aspire to look, think, and act and be like the famous stars of the silver screen. TV ads and commercials tell us that we “need” those particular services and products to “make” us

‘Success leaves clues’ is one of those stock phrases used by personal development legend Tony Robbins in his talks and seminars.

A Quick Preamble: For some, the setting of personal goals is a relatively simple task, while for (plenty of) others it’s just not the norm’…the“secrets” of how to set goals seem out of reach – hence, there’s a whole mass of people just blustering their way through life and taking whatever life happens to throw at them… …and that’s basically because they haven’t spent enough quality time deciding what they actually really desire in their life and the they

Goal setting is the framework for personal achievement. It is the backbone of becoming a person you desire to be. Setting and achieving personal goals will guarantee you success. Most people who do set goals have little to no understanding of goal setting and as a result fail to achieve them and never succeed. You would think that if goal setting was the ultimate skill and secret to success that everyone would develop their own personal goals and learn to achieve them. Unfort

What is the difference between being in a slump and being in a grave? Being in a slump is depressing, but you can get out by yourself. In fact, it is the only way! People can help you, even encourage you, but overcoming whatever circumstance you face is ultimately your choice. When it comes to moving ahead in life, many people feel they are in a slump, day in and day out. The same job, the same commute, the same everything – everyday!

So many things to do and not having enough time? There are many excuses to follow this question, but it all boils down to avoiding the values of personal time management. Many people are like you who need to balance work, family responsibilities or a home life, and be healthily abreast in all aspects.

When you try to apply for a job, your objective is to pass the exams and interview to get accepted. When an athlete runs a triathlon, his primary aim is to defeat his competitors and win. When someone engages in a fitness program, there’s a certain weight goal that he or she wants to meet. As you may have noticed, the importance of goal setting is very essential so that you could meet a certain objective. When dealing and handling your finances, your career, or even your pr

In the coaching relationships I have with our clients, the major problem I see is that individuals end up in the same place - over and over and over again. They mean to save money and build wealth, only to end up (again) with “too much month at the end of the money.” They’ve lost the same 15 pounds 8 times in the last decade. They quit one job only to end up doing the exact same job with the exact same pay for a different company. They end a relationship and then start dating the same person with a different name. Sound familiar?

For over thirty years Neuro Linguistic Programming, also called NLP, has developed many processes and techniques to help people achieve excellence. All of our patterns and habits are anchored in our neurology and our language patterns reflect what is going on in our brain. For example a person who says: “I am trying to loose weight." is actually setting themselves up for failure by HOW they are talking about their outcome. A much more positive and useful way of expressing t

One of the most valuable lessons to be learned, in terms of achieving goals, is to begin at the end . When working towards any goal, most people begin at the beginning (sounds logical doesn’t it?). The problem with starting at the beginning is most of us are focused on where we are right now. It is natural to begin from where our current strengths and weaknesses are, where our preferences lie or based on what our present circumstances are. Then what we normally do is put on

One of the things I work with my clients on is creating and implementing systems that automate and simplify getting things done. This creates consistency in your message as well as frees up your time for the BIG thoughts and fun times. The biggest obstacles I encounter when introducing this concept to people is their own resistance to letting go of control. Letting go is an act of faith. Have the confidence in your support team, your technology and yourself to allow others to

“Life is either a daring adventure or nothing.” –Helen Keller Throughout my journalism career thus far, I have been fortunate to meet fascinating, inspiring, daring people on a daily basis who tell me about their lives and passions. I donned a bee suit alongside the local beekeeper, followed politicians along their trails to office and trod through the muck at a donkey farm. Encounters like these have encouraged me to further uncover my own talents and goals, and not on

Depression is a trap; you must recognize it and get away from it. Depression is a time bomb that leads to self-destruction. Don't let it take you over.nnWe are mostly depressed because we WANT but we CAN'T. nnYou can help it by not wanting anything, by living a simple life.

Put Your Trust in God Entirely God speaks in six great ways: in nature and creation; in the moral law; in the Scriptures; in Jesus Christ; in human conscience; and in history. All these things are, of course, forever imperishably true. And all of us know them to be true, and have known it for years; yet many of us believe no more now in the practical Voice of God than when we first heard them.

Not long ago, I had been looking for ways to overcome the negative effects of stress, tension and anxiety so that I would become calmer, happier, more productive and more efficient with time. I wanted to change and replace my negative or unwanted thoughts with positive ones.

We live in an era of dreams. Not only are we urged to dream, it seems that we’ll have to dream big. “Set the target to achieve your first million! Pin the picture of your dream home up. Admire it every morning and imagine that you’ve already owned it,” says the typical motivator. It is important to dream. Dreams motivate success. I am what I am, partly because of my dreams. It is, however, equally important to pursue a dream that is truly yours. When setting your sight on

The 4th Step to Accomplishing Your Goals GOALS - REASONS - EXPECTATIONS - ACTIONS - TRACKING There is a big difference between knowing what to do and actually doing it. Most people know exactly what they need to do to hit their goals: exercise, eat healthy, save money, stop wasting time, etc. But, many choose to stay on the ground level, never taking the necessary steps up the ladder to reach their goals. A lot of people confuse movement with action. Running on a treadmill is fine for exercising, but if you’re trying to go somewhere, you’ll need to get on the right track!

Goals are the most powerful driving force in your life. When you stop setting goals, you stop enjoying all of the amazing rewards life has to offer you. I know this first hand.

When was the last time you felt upset or became angry, frustrated or disillusioned with something that has happened in your life or in your business?

In any selling situation, it is likely that you will need to overcome a buyer’s obstacles before a buying decision is made. Often, the way we “handle” objections turns the buyer off. Resolving objections effectively is a process that involves careful, sensitive listening and positive, factual responses to a buyer’s concerns. Buyer objections are not always rational. Objections are often totally emotional. You must respond to customers’ emotional needs and to the obs

Another year is passing by and here you on the downhill slide to the beginning of a new one. But instead of letting this time slip away and mean nothing, achieve something by setting yourself some new goals. The truth is, it doesn’t need to be New Year to go about setting goals. Many people use the start of a new year to do this job as it is seen as a fresh beginning, or time to turn over a new leaf. But with only 100 days to the end of the year, NOW is also the perfect time to set yourself some goals for the rest of the year.
